  • Place beef between layers of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently flatten until 1/4 inch thick. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk egg with 1 tbsp water in a small bowl. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Toss beef in flour to coat; shake of excess. Dip in egg, then breadcrumbs. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 15 mins.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in large frying pan over moderate heat. Cook beef 3 mins each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  • Spread half the pasta sauce over base of a 10 x 12 inch baking dish. Place beef, in a single layer, over tomato sauce. Top each steak with remaining sauce and eggplant; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 20-25 mins or until cheese is golden. Serve with vegetables.
